fn_Quiksilver 1633 Posted June 30, 2019 HI lads, Specifically I am trying to pull the screen position of ((uiNamespace getVariable 'RscUnitInfo') displayCtrl 151) when i do something simple like systemChat str (ctrlPosition ((uiNamespace getVariable 'RscUnitInfo') displayCtrl 151)); It returns a position like [0.24,0.1,0.06,0.04] Which is nowhere near the actual UI in the top corner. I assume there is some controls group to access but I can't seem to figure it out. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Larrow 2794 Posted June 30, 2019 _grenadeCntCtrl = (uiNamespace getVariable 'RscUnitInfo') displayCtrl 2302 controlsGroupCtrl 151; _magCntCtrl = (uiNamespace getVariable 'RscUnitInfo') displayCtrl 2303 controlsGroupCtrl 151; _flareCntCtrl = (uiNamespace getVariable 'RscUnitInfo') displayCtrl 151; There are a few 151 controls within controlsGroups in RscUnitInfo. Add the position of the ctrl in the controlsGroup and the position of the controlsGroup within RscUnitInfo together. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Larrow 2794 Posted July 6, 2019 Sorry not sure what happened there, seemed to of written some wrong idcs 2302 is unit weapons info, 2303 is vehicle weapons info. Controls under RscUnitInfo seem to be created/destroyed as needed. Spoiler h = [] spawn { while { true } do { _rscInfo = uiNamespace getVariable "RscUnitInfo"; _ammo = 184; _mag = 185; _grenade = 151; _info = if ( vehicle player isEqualTo player ) then { _rscInfo = _rscInfo displayCtrl 2302; format[ "Ammo: %1\nMags: %2\nGrenades: %3", ctrlText( _rscInfo controlsGroupCtrl _ammo ) splitString "| " select 0, ctrlText( _rscInfo controlsGroupCtrl _mag ) splitString "| " select 0, ctrlText( _rscInfo controlsGroupCtrl _grenade ) splitString "x" select 0 ]; }else{ _rscInfo = _rscInfo displayCtrl 2303; format[ "Ammo: %1\nMags: %2", ctrlText( _rscInfo controlsGroupCtrl _ammo ) splitString "| " select 0, ctrlText( _rscInfo controlsGroupCtrl _mag ) splitString "| " select 0 ]; }; hint _info; }; }; Not even sure that is correct for all vehicles. The above works for gunner in a hunter but does not for say a gunner in a slammer hmm now seems to be working. I dont know needs playing with as I keep getting different results. I presume RscInGameUI works something similar to RscTitles and each needed display is cut based on the present vehicle. If you look under RscInGameUI you will notice most child classes have an idd and reference controls from RscUnitInfo, for instance RscUnitInfoTank. If you then look at the slammer (configfile >> "CfgVehicles" >> "B_MBT_01_cannon_F" >> "unitInfoType") you will see its unitInfoType is "RscUnitInfoTank" possibly denoting what is cut and the controls it inherits from RscUnitInfo.

Adding to the above when dealing with vehicles you need to update the controls you are looking for based on the turret currently occupied. e.g the slammer If you are in the base of the vehicle then its unitInfoType member, being RscUnitInfoTank Then each turret has a turretInfoType, which for the slammer MainTurret (gunner) being "RscOptics_MBT_01_gunner" for various other controls.

It returns the position relative to hte position of the control group. I am looking for actual screen position Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are getting the position of ctrl 151 from within the controlGroup 2302, not the controls groups position.

killzone_kid 1326 Posted July 6, 2019 The position should be stored in some profile variable since it is custom position you can adjust via game options 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
